I've got a couple of very good quality HDMI cables that are surplus to requirements at the moment, both v1.3 compatible:

1) Wireworld Chroma 5: 1m cable - this one (NB mine is the round version rather than the flat, but same spec). Absolutely mint condition.

2) QED Qunex HDMI-P: 5m cable - this one. New in original packaging, never used

The price on the links above are £51.00 for the Wireworld, and £37.50 for the QED.

I'd be looking for £30 for either one of them (based on the fact that, although the Wireworld is a more expensive cable, it doesn't have the original packaging even though it is mint), or £55 for both - including insured delivery in either case.

Happy to take some pics of the actual cables if you're interested.

EDIT - payment via BT or paypal gift

Cheers
Dave

Sorry mate, I can't drop that low. I think I've priced them pretty fairly against the cheapest I can find online, and certainly less than they go for on a certain auction site (the 5m QED cable on the site you linked to is £52.50 - appreciate you only need 1m but a 5m cable is worth quite a bit more).

I could knock a couple of pounds off if you were buying both, but afraid I can't come anywhere near £40, sorry.

Cheers

Hi Mike,
If you've done some reading about HDMI cables then you'll appreciate how vague the manufacturer's specs really are. The problem with HDMI Certification is it guarantees only a minimum standard; so one cable could just scrape through whilst another passes with flying colours. There's no grade of pass.

Jeff Boccaccio was in the UK a couple of months back. Jeff is the Daddy when it comes to understanding HDMI. His company is now running a digital testing service for HDMI cables and hardware. Manufacturers can have their products checked and tested before they go off for HDMI approval. I was in one of the seminars when he demonstrated the test procedure. The gear used for the test costs 1/4 Million Dollars . It produces eye diagrams. They help show how much headroom there is above the minimum standard for a HDMI pass.

At the end of the seminar Jeff offered to test any cables we had brought along. I had two 1m cables of different brands tested at Category 2 'High Speed' 1080p/60Hz. The best brand had a headroom of 41% above HDMI Cat 2. He said this was an excellent result so I was well chuffed.

If you want some of these same cables I can do them at £18 ea + postage.
